Sleep talker
Do you or your partner talk in your sleep? What are some of the silly things you have said?
Steven and I both do. Sometimes what we said was so ridiculous we remember it first thing in the morning. And sometimes, it’s later in the day, or a few days later.
Luckily, last night, I was awake, so I sent Steven a few emails:
Gah, still laughing. Steven laughed when he read the emails, too. He said he remembered saying that stuff.
And I am not trying to make fun of him! I do it too! A few times in the past several months, I have fallen asleep before Steven, then woken up* to the lights still on and insisted there was writing on the walls or ceiling. Yet, I can never make out what it says. Maybe, “You’re crazy! Go back to bed!”? Ha ha ha.
*So maybe that is NOT sleep talking, if I am slightly awake. Oops.

This happens to us every once in a while, but now more with the kids. Jack went thru a sleepwalking stage and used to say the craziest stuff. We, being the heartless parents we are, would try to continue the conversations as long as possible, egging him on.
Once, back in the day, John went all crazy sleeptalking. He said a bunch of stuff, and then yelled “No! That’s MY Madonna poster!” I laughed so freaking hard, and still make fun of him for that one…
I just spit my hot chocolate all over the computer screen!!! LMAO!!!
Buah ha ha. I love that you egged him on. Was he the only one who sleep walked?
OMG! Ha! I wonder why the HECK he said that! I am happy to hear you still tease him 🙂
I still tease Jason about the time he said (in his sleep), “But what about Kevin Sorbo??”
Haha this made me laugh so hard! (and Bobbi’s comment too!) We both will sleep talk too. Kevin usually will ask “what?” when I’m just laying there and haven’t said anything. I think he hears voices.
My BF talks in his sleep all the time. More disturbing for me, he also screams in his sleep a lot. At first, I felt bad that he had so many nightmares, but then I started asking him more about the nightmares, and realized a lot of them are completely ridiculous. Like killer whales that kept trying to make out with him.
Ha ha ha! He has a very creative imagination!
I’ve been sleep talking forever – my brother used to tell me he could hear me across the hall and through his closed door, usually just talking about school. And he’d sometimes try to engage me, just like Bobbi and John do to their son 😉 I still do it, but I actually realize I’m doing it like half the time and try to back out of it when Bob hears me and asks what I’m talking about.
Have I ever told you that Bob sleep-sings? In gibberish? It’s AWESOME. And sometimes a little creepy because he does it really fast and his eyes are like half open.
Unrelated, it’s so weird seeing Steven without a beard!
Sleep-singing! Now that is new! Record that! Ha ha ha.
YES. Steven sans beard is weird… not preferred by me! 😉
Oh i talk in my sleep all the time. Brian just snores.
I remember doing this once. When Jay and I first starting dating. We were up late talking (you know how you do when you first start dating someone) and I got bored and fell asleep! Then I said “salty rice” and he was like “are you sleeping??” and woke me up. Lol. We laugh about it to this day.
Joey talks in his sleep sometimes and it cracks me up. I don’t too often, maybe when I’m sick?
My husband has informed me that I do talk in my sleep. I don’t think I have heard him do it, though. There is this one sound that I make that he likes to make fun of. It generally happens when there is some intense dream going on in my head. It is really weird. I have somehow heard it in dreamland before too so I do know what he is talking about.
It would be interesting to have your “dreams” analyzed. A “group made of empty boxes?!” Wonder where that came from! 🙂
He said he was dreaming about some sort of geometric box thing… weird!
No sleep talking here. Steven’s first one was priceless.
I’m really sad Anne didn’t have any box jokes.
I don’t think I’ve talked in my sleep for a long time, but I don’t remember half the things I say if I wake up in the middle of the night. I usually fall asleep, wake up not knowing I was asleep and say goodnight to my wife a second time.
Hahaha this is hilarious!! I’m actually a sleep-talker too and I seriously often “hallucinate” things when I randomly wake up in the middle of the night. I’ve been known to sprint out of bed and do things like try to “catch” something that’s rolling under the bed or “close the window because bees are flying in.” Psycho I know. My ex boyfriend takes the medal here though – he would have conversations in his sleep! It was amazing.
It happens very, very rarely in our house and sadly I don’t remember what Jason says when he does say things (except for the Kevin Sorbo comment which cracked me up so hard). But one of my college roommates talked AND walked in her sleep and sometimes that was freaking hilarious. My brother also walked & talked in his sleep but I usually missed those escapades. My parents can tell some pretty funny stories about it, though.
HILARIOUS!!! I don’t sleep-talk (at least, not that I am aware of) and neither does Adam. But I sleep with a stuffed Stitch and Adam says that I’ve rolled over in the middle of the night and handed him Stitch, then immediately rolled back over. Does that count as a silly sleep thing?
Ha ha ha! Yes! It counts! P.S. I have a stuffed Stitch that I slept with in college! And I have a Stitch hat 🙂
